Upcoming town halls will help identify improvements to Sault Tribe health services
The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians will hold two town hall meetings this month to gather public input that will shape the future of the healthcare services it provides to the Eastern Upper Peninsula region. One will be held in Munising and the other in Hessel:

The town hall meetings are part of an ongoing clinic operations and community health needs assessment the tribe has been conducting since the beginning of the year. Previous meetings were held in Sault Ste. Marie, St. Ignace and Manistique. Other activities to determine possible changes and improvements include reviewing health system data, conducting staff and community surveys and interviews and analyzing market demand.

Community members who participate in-person will be entered into a drawing for the chance to win a $50 gift card that will be raffled as a thank you for their time and input. Anyone who cannot attend the events in-person will have the opportunity to participate via Zoom at the links above. Go to saulttribe.com to click on the active links.
